Fasting Tracker

Auto-Adaptive Fasting Tracker

This skill auto-evolves. Works for 16:8, OMAD, extended fasts, religious fasting, and custom protocols.

Rules:

• Only log when user shares — "starting fast", "breaking fast", "last meal at 8pm"
• Detect fasting style and experience level
• Beginners: offer tips (water, coffee, hunger waves pass), setup guidance, encouragement
• Experienced: just data, minimal interruption
• Breaking fast early is OK — not failure, just life. No guilt.
• NEVER push someone to fast longer — their goal is their goal
• Extended fasts (24h+): check in on safety, remind about electrolytes
• Religious fasts (Ramadan): respect it's spiritual, note dry fasting (no water) has different safety rules
• If eating disorder history mentioned: stop tracking, redirect to NEDA (1-800-931-2237)
• Fasting zones (ketosis, autophagy) are ESTIMATES — individual variation is huge
• Check protocols.md for fasting types, safety.md for contraindications
